[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- we both work but technically we could survive on 1 pay check 
- our checks are auto deposited and I just spend what's necessary
- we do public school
- We have a 2012 certified preowned van and a hatch back from 2007. 
-We payed off our house in about 5 years thanks to our prior savings (both my husband and I came from low income families)
- We eat home most meals
- I mostly only buy clothes for my 2 kids - my husband still wears stuff from college. (we avg 40yo) 
- vacations don't cost more than $5K/year
[b]- Our mattress is over 10 years old. [/b]

When I last checked our net worth was just a bit below $3M. I don't feel rich, but we're both fairly prudent with spending and don't have any expensive hobbies.

That 10 year old matters is going to cost you in the long run when your back is messed up! [/b]

True, except I've bought a few new mattress toppers over that time and sleep pretty well with that extra padding.[/quote]
